Connect dbt and
Google Cloud Storage with AI

Redbird AI syncs dbt transformation artifacts, compiled models, and test results directly to Google Cloud Storage — automatically staging datasets, publishing documentation, and archiving model outputs. Stop manually uploading dbt artifacts or running custom scripts to move transformed data between your warehouse and GCS buckets.

What you can automate today

Redbird gives your team ready-to-run workflows — just connect your accounts and go.

Sync dbt compiled models and manifests to GCS for downstream orchestration

Automatically upload dbt's compiled SQL, manifest.json, and run_results.json to designated GCS buckets whenever models run. Orchestration tools and downstream processes access the latest transformation logic without manual artifact management.

Stage transformed datasets from dbt models as Parquet files in GCS

Export finalized dbt model outputs to Google Cloud Storage as partitioned Parquet files for ML pipelines or cross-platform sharing. Analytics engineers deliver transformation results to data science teams without warehouse-to-warehouse exports.

Publish dbt documentation sites to GCS buckets for team-wide access

Automatically generate and upload dbt docs to a Cloud Storage bucket configured for static website hosting whenever documentation changes. Stakeholders access current data lineage and model definitions without running local dbt commands.

Archive dbt test results and data quality reports to GCS by project

Store timestamped test failures, warnings, and data quality metrics in organized GCS folders for long-term auditing. Data teams maintain historical quality records without bloating the warehouse with test metadata.

Trigger dbt runs when new source data lands in GCS buckets

Automatically kick off dbt model runs when upstream data files appear in specified Cloud Storage locations. Transformation pipelines stay synchronized with data arrival without polling or manual scheduling.

Load seed files from GCS into dbt projects for reference data updates

Monitor designated GCS folders for updated CSV reference files and automatically sync them into dbt seed directories. Analytics engineers maintain dimension tables and lookup data without manual file transfers.

Live in four steps

No engineers, no pipelines to maintain. Redbird handles the connectivity — you focus on the outcome.

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize dbt and Google Cloud Storage with OAuth or API credentials. Redbird never stores your data — it just passes through.

02

Describe what you want

Tell Redbird what to do in plain language — no SQL, no code, no configuration files required.

03

Review and activate

Redbird shows you exactly what it will do before running anything. Approve the workflow, set a schedule, and switch it on.

04

Let it run — and iterate

Workflows run on your schedule or on triggers. Every run is logged. Adjust with natural language at any time.

Built for data-driven teams

Redbird AI understands both dbt's transformation artifacts and Google Cloud Storage's bucket organization — intelligently mapping model outputs, test results, and documentation structures to the right GCS paths.

AI that speaks dbt manifests and GCS bucket hierarchies

Redbird reads dbt's manifest.json, catalog.json, and run_results.json to understand model dependencies, test outcomes, and schema definitions. It automatically organizes these artifacts in GCS with sensible folder structures — timestamped run artifacts, versioned documentation, and partitioned dataset exports. The AI recognizes when dbt models target BigQuery tables and coordinates staging transformed data back to GCS for broader ecosystem access, maintaining proper naming conventions and lifecycle policies.

10×

faster than building custom dbt hooks and GCS upload scripts

No Python operators, no Airflow DAG modifications, no gsutil wrapper scripts

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from dbt and Google Cloud Storage simultaneously, merge the results, and format a polished report — sent on a schedule or on demand.

Trigger-based alerts

Set conditions in natural language. Get notified in Slack or email the moment a threshold is crossed in either dbt or Google Cloud Storage.

Enterprise-grade security

SOC 2 Type II certified. Data flows encrypted in transit and at rest. Fine-grained permission controls with full audit logs.

Bidirectional sync

Push data from dbt into Google Cloud Storage, or from Google Cloud Storage back into dbt. Resolve conflicts with configurable merge rules.

Full audit trail

Every workflow run is logged — what ran, what changed, and why. Replay or revert any individual step at any time.

Triggers & actions for every team

Start workflows from any dbt run event or GCS bucket change — Redbird connects the entire transformation-to-storage lifecycle.
